My current one was bought for me by an adoring fan, accomanied by some huge "Jeb come back" thing that was really visually annoying to look at. A mod tore that poo poo out.

I like that they kept my undertext from the cauliflower days to make it look like they're are all avs I bought for myself.

So Joe Rogan had on that Google guy the other day on his show. Anyone see it?

I don't like watching videos where you have some controversial dude and nobody to push back when they make questionable claims, so I haven't seen it myself, yet. But I do sorta want to only because one of my friends, who really seems to agree with what he's been saying, keeps insisting that I'm misinterpreting what the guy is actually advocating.

it used to be fun stoner kind of stuff. he'd have comedians on and just talk about goofy conspiracies in an 'i'm not saying the moon landing was fake, but...' kind of way. just stuff you talk to your friends about while high. now it's just dickheads like 5'2 unlovable loser ben shapiro so it sucks.

I think its been said in the Joe Rogan thread a few times that its attraction is like sitting with the stoner bros on the back porch as a party is winding down. Its interesting noise where you can enjoy the company of people who really believe in these conspiracy theories but you are too hung over/over the party to shoot them down plus where's the fun in that?

joe rogan is only good when his guest is good. his talk with louis theroux was pretty good. but then he has dumb shitheads like that uggo google nerd or ben shapiro and doesn't really challenge them much. i think he did challenge crowder about weed at least.

Yeah I mean let's not fool ourselves Joe rogan really likes having right wing alt right types on his channel far too often and coddled up to them far too much to think that this 'party' is worth being in anymore. It's one thing to talk about the nature of the universe it's another to rant against black lives matter or something.

(just for the record, Contra's basically decided she's transgender recently. Not saying you meant to misgender her; you probably remember some older videos where she straight up said she's unmisgenderable and actually likes it when people use both pronouns alternately, but that's not the case anymore)

You think reality is a circle of salt around my brain keeping witches out?
I never really listened to Joe Rogan much but back when I was in college, it seemed like he stuck to his "I'm not on either side, this is ALTERNATIVE MEDIA" guns a lot more consistently than he does today. He still got mentioned in the same sentence as a lot of right-wing shitheads, but he came across as more of a shock jock than anything else.

Now, though, yeah, it seems like he's just Alex Jones Lite. It seems like he went through the South Park cycle of "Both sides are bad!" slowly devolving into "but liberals are worse in every way!"

he used to be full on moon landing is fake but i think he's backed off a bit if the neil degrasse tyson episode is anything to go by. he once defended his insane moon landing belief on his blog by posting this incredibly inaccurate diagram that launched the magic bullet theory to say "hey if the government would cover this up they'd cover up anything!"

the kind of person who thinks rape is or can be funny is definitely the kind of person who thinks racial slurs can be funny

americans especially LOVE to reference prison rape as a punishment for persons conviced and sentenced

otherwise it's just indicative of extreme privilege and lack of judgement. boy it's a good thing pewdiepie will never face the repercussions of being an enormous shithead white guy

Oh, I agree with this (except I think no subjects are arbitrarily unfunny if you do it from the correct angle). In my context, I was referring to racism specifically and this was yet another example of careless racism bolstering what you guys have been saying all along. Believe it or not I have not been exercising torture on myself by forcing myself through Pewdiepies videos just to confirm if he was a racist or not. I have pretty much just used content posted here to draw my conclusions.

you really can't "confirm" that someone is racist or not, there are exceptions where people are real obvious (attending white supremacist rallies) but otherwise this is a bit of a trap that many quiet racists will exploit - i didn't say any slurs or obvious hatred, so how can i be a racist? all i did was point out that black on black crime statistics are blah blah blah

it's best to assume that pretty much every white person is a racist and then wait to see if they say things which indicate they're aware of things like structural and institutionalized racism, microagressions etc. to bump them out of the "racist" category into "still racist but aware of it and trying not to be". growing up in a racist society forces you to inherit that racism, just like how every human alive today has toxic byproducts of plastics in their body to some degree simply because the entire earth is polluted with plastics to some degree

Joe Rogan is/was a stand up who came of the era of OMG EVERYTHING IS POLITICALLY CORRECT and so hates when people talk about why a rape/racist/transphobic joke might be in bad taste. And like someone said, he hates both conservatives and liberals just that liberals are "whiny" or whatever. So while he seems really like interested in learning both sides or like he isn't making any judgement, he is usually coming from the but liberals whine about things that are effecting society.
